Apparently, copying "zope/component/tests/__init__.py" to "<myhomedirectory>/>Zope-2.8.4-final/build-base/python-2.4/build- lib/zope/component/tests/__init__.py" fails.
Well no, actually - the file gets copied! i checked. But make stops at that point.
It is likely that the copying process wants to modify permissions and/or access times and that this raises the "Operation not permitted" error.
That sounds reasonable, but if I'm root (or the owner of the directory, for that matter) at the time I run make, what else can I do to get out of it? Does the whole directory need to be world-writable?
